Already filed taxes, did not report stimulus from March 2022; should I amend?

We received a small stimulus ($204) in March 2022.  It was a direct deposit and forgot all about it until someone mentioned it on the radio.  I already submitted my taxes and received my refund.  Do I have to file an amendment?  Thanks for any help with this.

There were no federal stimulus checks in 2022.  There is nothing to enter about a federal stimulus check on a 2022 tax return.  The federal stimulus checks  -- EIP payments -- were sent out in 2020 and 2021.   If you received some sort of state stimulus check---as many people did --- the IRS has determined that those checks are not taxable on your 2022 federal return.   You do not have to amend for that.

Thanks for your response.  Sorry, for the delay!
